1. Reign of Thunder
We've Been At The Edge Too Many Times
To Ignore The Warning Signs
Now That We're Led By Those Who Are Blind
To The World That Is Outside
They Will Ensure, That They'll Make Our Lives
A Misery Before Our Eyes
These Power Whores, Are Those Who Decide
Which Civil War Goes On The Side
It's Out Of Our Hands, To A Man We Must Fight Or Be Overrun
And By Midnight, The First Strike Has Begun
Would They Rather Die, Or Live And Suffer, This Reign Of Thunder
Nations In Need, No Longer Have The Right
To Chose Which War In Which They Fight
Hatred And Greed, And Mad Myopic Sight
Add To The Anarchists Delight
The Poor Will Die Whatever, In The Ultimate Defeat
We Sell Them Arms But Send Them Nothing They Can Eat
Women And Children, Starved And Alone
They Are Like Shadows Painted On Bare Walls
In Spite Of The Land In Their Hands, The Respite Will Fool No-one
And By Midnight There Is Light, But No Sun
Would They Rather Die, Than Live And Suffer, This Reign Of Thunder
Take It As Read, That What's Left Behind
Incriminates The Ones Inside
And We Are Fed, All The Same Old Lies
Twisted Thoughts Of Twisted Minds
It's Out Of Our Hands, To A Man We Must Fight Or Be Overrun
And By Midnight There Is Light, But No Sun
Would They Rather Die, Or Live And Suffer, This Reign Of Thunder
2. March on, Sons of Nippon
I Hear Them Coming, Coming From Over There
Just Like They Said That They Would
The Mitsibushi's, The Long Range Zero's Too
Their Orders Well Understood
We Ain't Ready, They're Coming In Closer
We Ain't Ready, So Close That I Can See Their Eyes
We Ain't Ready, They'll Never Get Much Older
We Ain't Ready, As They Wave Shinto Goodbye
March On, Sons Of Nippon
March On, From Japan
March On, Sons Of Nippon
March On, From Japan
There's Nothing Left Now, It's All Been Blown Away
The Harbour's Now Fire Wood
I'm Scared To Death, Now That Our War Has Just Started
Looks Like We're In This For Good
We Ain't Ready, They're Coming In Closer
We Ain't Ready, So Close That I Can See Their Eyes
We Ain't Ready, They'll Never Get Much Older
We Ain't Ready, As They Wave Shinto Goodbye
March On, Sons Of Nippon
March On, From Japan
March On, Sons Of Nippon
March On, From Japan
3. With Your Life
4. None but the Brave
I've Got A Feeling, A Feeling So Strong
That You Don't Believe Me When I Say You Belong
That Is Your Problem, And You're Alone
It's Ever Lasting, This Heartbreak At Home
You Can Look Forward To Be Unknown
Your Time Is Passing, Your Last Chance Has Been Blown
But I'll Still Be Here, When You're Dead And Gone
No Time For Indecision
The Crime, Lack Of Vision
I Wish I'd Known Before,
Just Where Your Soul Belonged
This Thunderbird (3x)
Is For None But The Brave
What Was Your Future, Is Fading Fast
And You're Trying To Tell Me That You Still Kick Ass,
I Could've Been Wrong, But You Done Your Best,
So You Were Really, Just Like All Of The Rest
But I'll Still Be Here, When You're Dead And Gone
No Time For Indecision
The Crime, Lack Of Vision
I Wish I'd Known Before,
Just Where Your Soul Belonged
This Thunderbird (3x)
Is For None But The Brave
5. The Enemy Below
It Felt Like Somebody, Had Just Walked In The Room
I Turned Round, It Was Stunning, I Diverted My Eyes Too Soon
She Had Legs Up To Her Shoulders, And Hair All Down Her Back
But Between Her Ears, There Was A Lack Of Intrinsic Facts
By This Time I'm Too Far Gone
To Abuse Or Use Someone
I Should've Said No No No...
To The Enemy Below (4x)
I Thanked God That We Were Leaving, As I Couldn't Drink No More
But I Could Dream Of What I Liked, Face Down On The Floor
It Was The Way She Moved Her Fingers, That Brought Me Back Again
So It Looked Like We'd Be Up All Night, Breaking Out The Chains
By This Time I'm Too Far Gone
To Abuse Or Use Someone
I Should've Said No No No...
To The Enemy Below (4x)
6. Lost
I'm Trying To Remember, What You're Trying To Forget
The Days I Left You Crying Are The Days I Most Regret
I Can't Believe We're Still In Love After All These Years
So What We Have Is Strong Enough
To Last Through All The Tears... Of Love
A Dream Can't Last Forever, And This One's Not Over Yet
There's No Use Of Us Denying Of What We Felt When We First Met
I Can't Believe, We're Still In Love After All These Years
So What We Have Is Strong Enough
To Last Through All The Tears... Of Love
I Would Be On My Own, So Lost
Without Her, Without Your Love
Lost Without Love... (Repeat)
7. (The Hell They Must) Suffer
The Spectre Of Death Has Returned One More Time
But This Time It Ain't Just Like Any Other
If There Is A God, If There Is A God,
Why Choose Our Poor Warm Brother... To Suffer
I Just Can't Believe, The Scale Of This Disease
It Bleeds Many Hearts So Hollow
If There Is A God, If There Is A God,
Please Find A Cure By Tomorrow
Time Is Left But It's Not On Our Side
They Bear The Scars On The Inside
It's Getting Hard, It's Getting Tougher
The Hell They Must Suffer
You Must Understand, It's Rife Across This Land
It Fills Many Hearts With Sorrow
Where Is God, Where Is God,
It's One Hard Act To Follow
Time Is Left But It's Not On Our Side
They Bear The Scars On The Inside
It's Getting Hard, It's Getting Tougher
The Hell They Must Suffer
Hell, Ain't Such A Bad Place To Be,
I've Been There Before,
But I Ain't Going Back There Never, Never
The Hell They Must Suffer (Repeat)
8. It Fell from the Sky
Dateline America, The Florida Skies
Is Where They Gave Their Lives
While We Shall All Mourn Their Passing
That We Can't Deny
They've Gone To The Everlasting
As Her Children Cry
They'll Kneel And Pray, To Honour Their Brave
Their Eyes Don't Lie
It Happened So Fast, With One Final Blast
A Nation Cried... It Fell From The Sky
The 25th Mission, Was It Doomed From The Start
NASA's Dream Blown Apart
While We Shall All Mourn Their Passing
That We Can't Deny
They've Gone To The Everlasting
As Her Children Cry
They'll Kneel And Pray, To Honour Their Brave
Their Eyes Don't Lie
It Happened So Fast, With One Final Blast
A Nation Cried... It Fell From The Sky
